Chapter 476: Black Magic, Xia Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Back then, the Xia Family practiced evil black magic that made life difficult for everyone, causing everyone to denounce them together. She was one of them.
It was not because she had a personal grudge with the Xia family, but because Gu Man looked down on black magic, not to mention that this black magic required the lives of others.
However, they still succeeded in leaving behind descendants. Their descendant was a little dishonest and wanted to use these crooked methods to satisfy their own selfish desires.
However, since she had found it, she naturally would not let it go. “1 understand. Have you investigated that woman?”
At the mention of this, Zhou Yan frowned tightly and looked puzzled. “It’s strange. I’ve investigated that woman, but I can’t find anything. It’s as if she appeared out of thin air.”
Gu Man nodded in understanding. As for why this happened, that woman had probably been living in the family and had only come here recently.
She had just left and was already doing such a thing. She was really worrisome.
Gu Man reminded her, “She has some special methods. You’re not her match. Instead of thinking about how to deal with her, why don’t you think about you and Chu An?”
Zhou Yan was surprised to hear this news, but she quickly adjusted her expression. “That woman does have some ability. After 1 met her, 1 inexplicably started to be unlucky. This time, it was even more life-threatening. Fortunately, with you, Miss Gu, I didn’t have any major problems.”
“Leave Xia Tong to me. You handle Chu An,” Gu Man said after some thought.
Zhou Yan’s eyes lit up because of these words. If Gu Man helped her, she would be like a tiger with wings. She did not have to be afraid of anything at all. “Thank you, Miss Gu. 1 can’t thank you enough for your kindness.”
She struggled to get up from the bed, but her body was too weak. Just as she lifted the blanket, she coughed violently. Seeing this, Gu Man pulled the blanket over her.
“Your body is still very weak and you have to recover. Before that, don’t be agitated. There are many opportunities for revenge.”
Zhou Yan looked at Gu Man, who was reminding her, with a loving expression in her eyes. “Miss Gu, actually, I’ve always wanted a daughter. When 1 see you, I feel very warm. It’s just that 1 know I’m not worthy of being your mother, but can I call you sister?”
Zhou Yan’s eyes were filled with nervousness and antic.i.p.ation. Gu Man’s expression was calm and she did not have any special reaction. “It’s just a form of address.”
Although her answer was very calm, just this sentence made Zhou Yan happy. “Then Miss Gu has tacitly agreed. Then don’t blame me for offending you by calling you sister.”
Zhou Yan had a sincere smile on her face. She was really very happy now. Miss Gu was much cuter than her child who only knew how to anger her all day.
It was just that she was completely unworthy of being ATiss Gu’s mother. In fact, if it weren’t for Miss Gu, she wouldn’t have been able to live until now. How could she dare to ask her to address her as mother?
She was already taking advantage of Gu Man by calling her sister.
Even so, Zhou Yan was very satisfied.
“Up to you.”
Zhou Yan was not dissatisfied with Gu Man’s calmness. Instead, she spoke excitedly.
“In that case, Sister, don’t call me Madam Zhou anymore. I’ve already broken up with that sc.u.mbag. Call me Zhou Yan from now on.”
“Okay.” Calling her that was just a convenient name for Gu Man. As for what it was, she did not care.
The two of them chatted happily, as if they had long forgotten about the anxious Zhen Rong who was waiting outside. He paced back and forth and stood at the door, wanting to push the door open and enter repeatedly, but he was afraid of disturbing Gu Man. He hesitated and refused.
It was only when he approached the door and heard faint conversation inside that he carefully pushed open the door a crack and saw Zhou Yan, who had woken up.
He couldn’t care less and walked towards the bed.
Zhou Yan was forced to interrupt the conversation because of the sudden movement at the door. She frowned and looked at the door unhappily.
When she saw the figure of the person who came, she became even more annoyed..
